I was planning to upload Fossil and Jungle scans later this week and create their own categories, and was also planning to create categories for the other sets, so NG wouldn't have been "singled out". I just think it's the best way to keep track of all the scans for each expansion. [[User:Double Dash|Double Dash]] 22:08, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

:And what about categorizing scans that already exist under such categories?  What about promotional cards?  And what about not categorizing a Pokémon's card under its category like you had done so skillfully on stuff such as [[:Image:DP-P 083 Hidoran.jpg‎]]?  Might as well create all of the necessary categories in one swift stroke--and categorize them with a common category--if you didn't want it to appear as if you were singling out one set.

Why did you revert [[:Image:Duplica.PNG]]? Mine may not have been from the anime, but it was better quality, showed all of her body, showed her actual clothes (she only wore white when she was imitating Team Rocket), and was higher resolution, something that the anime screenshot failed to fulfill. So, why did you revert it? <sup><big>[[user:chocolate|<span style="color:#6D351A;">Cho</span>]][[user talk:chocolate|<span style="color:#6D351A;">col</span>]][[special:contributions/chocolate|<span style="color:#6D351A;">ate</span>]]</big></sup> 18:04, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Am I allowed to upload an image with a modified (only photoshop effects) Bulbapedia logo? I'd use it to replace the original Bulbapedia logo in my custom theme, since the original version doesn't go well with it. (I'd tag the image as a personal use image.) I'm asking this because of I'm not sure if the copyrights of the original logo image allow this. [[User:UltimateSephiroth|UltimateSephiroth]] 21:08, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

:Yeah, I went back and checked the style on normal-color Rayquaza before applying the template for alternate-color Blastoise.  Since I only did Hippopotas, both male and female, out of order, that makes it only 10 sprites I did incorrectly.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 23:32, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 
== Recolor vs, direct rip (Emerald sprites) ==
 
Hi, I don't know if you read my reply on my talk page, so I'm posting here.
 
I still don't see the difference between a recolored normal sprite and a directly ripped one other than that the latter takes a lot longer. On top of that, I don't really have a method to determine exactly how long each frame remains visible. I could just look at the normal sprites, but then there's almost no difference to a recolor. Advice would be appreciated. -- <font size="+1" face="Old English Text MT">[[User:Socob|<font color="black">Socob</font>]]</font> <sup><small>( [[User_talk:Socob|<font color="black">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Socob|<font color="black">Contribs</font>]] )</small></sup> 14:03, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 
:The reason direct rips are preferred is because sprites might differ in color between even games of the same generation (witness {{p|Wartortle}}).  Recolors tend to duplicate color schemes from another game in the same generation, which may lead to inaccurate coloration if done incorrectly.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 15:54, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 
::I see, that makes sense. My new plan would be to get a single frame from an Emerald sprite and use its colors to recolor the normal sprite. I suppose that would be accpetable? -- <font size="+1" face="Old English Text MT">[[User:Socob|<font color="black">Socob</font>]]</font> <sup><small>( [[User_talk:Socob|<font color="black">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Socob|<font color="black">Contribs</font>]] )</small></sup> 17:47, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

== Shiny Heracross Sprites ==
 
Pffft. And there I go, screwing something up. Ahaha! Well, at least this→ File:214_s.png sprite doesn't look fuzzy anymore, but this one→File:Spr_214_m_s.png still does and for some reason the "current sprite" files are still showing up as the DP sprites, even though the Platinum one is right there in the past versions table. ...The mechanisms of this system confound me, and now I think I dislike Heracross. A lot.[/deadpan] Thanks for trying to fix up my chain of errors, though. [[User:ChaudCo|ChaudCo]] 02:19, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 
:Actually, the "current game sprites", which are those that begin with simply the National Pokédex numbers (such as [[:File:214.png]] and [[:File:214 s.png]]), are liable to have past sprites in their history tables.  Non-alternate-color ones from prior to Generation IV are liable to have Generation III sprites as their first iteration, and current game sprites typically include updates for each new release.  With HeartGold/SoulSilver's release imminent, there'll be a lot of activity in the current game sprites, with no less than {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Current game sprites}} sprites to recieve updates provided they all actually do get new spritework.
 
:If you still see any problems, try clearing your cache.  There's a clock to the left of your username, click it.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 02:38, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 
::Oh, right, the cache purge! I forgot about that. In any case, I think I'll leave those sprites well enough alone for a while. o__o --[[User:ChaudCo|ChaudCo]] 02:53, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 
== Could you please... ==
 
Hi Pikablu. I did not know if there was some way to request something be deleted but I was wondering if you could possible delete the red sprite at File:RedHGSS.gif as I uploaded a new one that looks better at File:RedHGSS.png. Also, I accidentally uploaded another Scyther sprite before I figured out that they are linked as m and f. The extra scyther one is located at File:Spr_4h_123.png. Thanks. -'''<span style="font-family:Arial">[[bp:User talk:MasterKeobi|<span style="color:#000">Master</span>]][[User talk:MasterKenobi|<span style="color:#0000CC">Kenobi</span>]]</span>''' 04:28, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 
:Done.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 04:49, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 
Could you also delete File:Dark_Cave.jpg as I have replaced it with File:Darkcavei.png which is a higher quality image and has a better file name. Thanks. -'''<span style="font-family:Arial">[[bp:User talk:MasterKeobi|<span style="color:#000">Master</span>]][[User talk:MasterKenobi|<span style="color:#0000CC">Kenobi</span>]]</span>''' 17:51, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 
== Redirects ==
 
Are not to be created, they should never exists. all of them are supposed to be delinked and deleted. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|<sup style="color:#00008B;">'''Maverick'''</sup>]][[User talk:Maverick Nate|<sub style="color:#00008B;">'''Nate'''</sub>]]'' 18:52, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
:there is now the option to uncheck the "Leave a redirect behind" box. Please do that instead of the move/delete system we were previously forced to do. It's quite a convenient feature. I think it'll make things a lot easier if you were to use it.
